My day at school was a breeze – there was a volleyball tournament during the day, so I went over to the gymnasium to root on our team. Unfortunately, they didn’t play until late in the day, so I had to leave before they played. Still, it was cool to say hello to them, and I think they were glad to get the support.
Mr. Komuri brought in some hot peppers from Nagano that he wanted me to try. They are really good! He gave me a sample and said that he can provide more if I’d like. They are hotter than jalapenos, but a little milder than habaneros. Really tasty!
After school I went home to do a couple of loads of laundry, and clean up the place a bit. At five o’clock I was out the door and headed to my class in Kobe.
Today was a really good class. The teacher that was in charge repaired a lot of the damage done from last time, and we learned a few new things that seemed to make sense. It was probably the most useful lesson that we’ve had. There were only four students this time, and so we all got a lot of attention, and were called on quite a bit. That seemed to help me learn.
After class I went to the ramen place that I like, the one with the free kimchee. After last week’s dining disaster, I’m back to the old standby. It was delicious! I got on the next train out of Sannomiya, and was home just before ten o’clock. A nice easy day – tomorrow will a bit more difficult with the prefectural teacher interviews.
